Lam-a Patent No. 77,376, dated April 28, 1868.

IMPROVEMENT m mmesaoor, AND PAIL-HOLDER.

TO ALL WHOM IT MAY CONCERN:

Be it known that I, L. B. Hon, of Cedar Falls, in the county of Black Hawk, and State of Iowa, have invented a new and useful Improved Milking-Stool and Pail-Holder; and I do herehy'declare that the following is a. full, clear, and exact description of the same, reference being had to the annexed drawings, mi ki g p rt Of this specification.

The subject of this improvement is a stool and pail-holder, for use in milking cows, to hold the pail near the bag of the cow, so that the milk shall not he lost by spraying,'as is the case when the pail rests upon the ground,-

nor the pail be exposed to filth, nor the milker wcaried By holding the pail on the knees. v

In the annexed drawings, A is a stool, to which is attached an arm, Ihwith a circular frame, B, at the end to support the pail, C. The weight of the milker sitting on the stool counterhalances thutof the milk-path.

By the use of thissimple article,milk is saved, and also preserved from filth, the bucket is out of the way of the cows tail, and she cannot kick it over. At thesame time much fatigue issaved to the milker- What I'claim as my invention, and desire to secure by'Letters Patent, is-

As a new article of manufacture, a combined milking-stool and v mil-holder, constructed substantially as described.

In testimony whereof, I have signed my name to this specification in the presence of two subscribing witnesses.
